blue artichoke

In middle school and high school, Blue Grilled Cheese and I would head down to her family's cottage in Panama City, FL, for Spring Break or during summer vacation. Life was easy at the cottage. We walked on the beach in the morning, sunned on the front porch in the afternoon and strolled down the boardwalk in the evening. Meals were just as laid-back. For that week, we would live on sandwiches made from Wonder Bread and cheese slices, dill pickles, potato chips, Jolly Ranchers and Sprite. A diet only a hyperactive metabolism could handle, which luckily we had back then. I try to eat healthier now, but the white bread-cheese slice-mayo sandwich still evokes memories of hot summers and lazy days at the beach. While I was out of town, Gentleman Caller bought a loaf of bread and cheese slices. When I discovered them this afternoon, I immediately made a sandwich. Ahhh, just as good as I remember.

Dinner tonight: chicken tortilla casserole, baby carrots, peas
